Fisher Releases "Srebrenica"

August 13, 2026

On July 11, 1995, Serbian soldiers took command of the town of Srebrenica, Bosnia. Between July 11 and July 22nd of that year, Serbians committed genoocide by executing over 8,000 muslim men who lived in Srebrenica. The world was unaware of the atrocities until satellite images of the disturbed soil caused by excessive rainfall revealed the mass graves.

In 1999, Richard (Ricky)  Dean Fisher learned of the genocide and wrote a song for the saurvivors. He recorded the song on a cassette player,and  performed it live a few times, then forgot about it. 

After watching the destruction of Gaza, Richard re-recorded  Srebrenica in July/August of 2026 as both a remembrance and a cautionary tale. The song was released on July 13, 2026 on Soundcloud. Srebrenica will be available on Spotify, YouTube and other streaming services on August 28, 2026.

Richard Dean Fisher is a songwriter, recording artist, and singer known for his work in the folk and rock genres. He is based in Ridgecrest, CA, and has released several singles, including "Living in Denial" and "Crossing the Delaware". He performs live on TikTok and YouTube, and plays at the Open Mic at the historic USO Building every other Friday.  For bookings: Call 1-760-608-0505 or write to fishfirewrite@gmail.com

Richard (Rick) Dean Fisher Releases “Adeline”

 Richard (Rick) Dean Fisher’s 2026 release, Adeline, is a story where the mundane life of a man is shattered by a woman he meets on a train platform.  They fall in love at first sight.  This is “a story of waiting, rain, train platforms, repeated meetings, and searching for a woman who has moved on.” – Sameway Magazine.

In their September 10th addition to the “the Saddest Songs” playlist,  Undiscovered Music  called Adeline “an undeniable standout" at a “superb level”.

Rag Magazine , a profession Indie music site for over a decade, called Adeline “A catchy tune…of classic rock mixed with pop overtones."

In their review, Cr-Indie.com wrote, “Rick Fisher proves that independent music remains a fertile ground for authenticity. “Adeline” is not only a tribute to his influences, but also a reminder that songs can reflect our own losses and longings. With his honesty and narrative skill, Fisher invites us to listen not only with our ears, but with our memories and hearts.”
